Welcome To Ryan Cooper, Farewell To Greg Smith

Hythe Town FC are delighted to confirm the signing of twenty-year old defender, Ryan Cooper. Ryan joins the club after leaving Sittingbourne following a successful season as part of an organised
and disciplined side managed by the Ward brothers.

The Wards' side enjoyed a far better than expected season, finishing ninth in the Ryman South, an improvement of ten places on the season before.

Predominantly a right-back, but a player who is capable of covering several positions, Ryan is a highly-rated product of the Dartford FC Academy, and started the season at play-off winners
Maidstone United. Once again Scott has secured the signing of a player being chased by several top clubs.

Talking to the website this evening, Scott said - “Ryan has joined us as he wants to progress and compete for honours, I'm delighted to have secured Ryan's signature when several other clubs were
after a player that is highly thought of in Kent football circles.”

Scott continued - “Ryan brings some more youth to our squad, and is a player who joins us looking to win things.”

In other news, Scott has confirmed that Greg Smith is no longer with the club. Greg has suffered from a lot of injury problems since our promotion to the Ryman South two years ago. However, Greg
was almost an ever-present in our Kent League Championship winning side with 47 of his 84 appearances in a Hythe shirt coming that season as he made the right-back berth his own. Greg will always
be fondly remembered for the part he played in that historic season.

Welcome to the club to Ryan and farewell to Greg.
